I watch TV and I admit it's a fault. I am a sucker for Sci-Fi and Documentaries. I tend to avoid what I think is real 'trash' like reality shows and mindless sitcoms, but it's none of it is really doing me any 'good.'

It's kinda like knowing soda is bad for you, and drinking the occasional Diet Coke instead of regular.

I personally believe every man, woman, and child on this planet is in at least someway corrupted and no matter what your intentions, that corruption will come through on your art, and it CAN be 'contagious.'

But, really, TV is not much if any worse than even visiting this forum here. Most of the people who write here are just using their imagination to create a story of what they think is going on with the world. This is really no different than a fictional story writer.

It's all about your perspective, and how you choose to handle what you're seeing\hearing. Listen to everything, but, believe nothing.

even though they support the divide and conquer principle, they're still entertaining although I'm repulsed by commercials

Sports is a safe and harmless way to channel your innate tribalism. It's a tool created to stabilise society by channeling our innate tendencies in a way that causes minimum friction. Society is full of these tools, and we just act out our primal primal instincts in this channeled manner.

Wonder why there are so many channels,channeling all of your energy into the fake light.sports is the worst of them all.

from a psychological aspect, TV is interesting. I do occasionally watch some of the reality TV shows to study the behavior and see how people I know often act the same way. Kinda like a case study. I never get into watching the same TV series, as I don't usually have the time. Our society has become pretty saturated by the exact same stuff we see on TV.

And the shows are not what is important. Its the ads during the commercial breaks that people should really take note of, they are very dangerous.
